One silver dollar

  "Old Lao Xia, half of this month has passed, you still owe last month's military rations, when do you plan to pay?" Zhang San rubbed his chin and looked at Old Lao Xia with a slanted gaze.

  "A few military officers, this year's drought is severe, and it hasn't rained a single drop until now." Xia Lao Tou's face was filled with bitterness. Originally, they were looking forward to harvesting more this year, but unexpectedly, the crops encountered a severe drought right after being planted. He had to carry water from over ten miles away to irrigate the fields, only to have it occupied by the island nation's imperial guards, who also demanded that he hand over 30 kilograms of grain every month. They didn't have much grain to begin with, and this was just adding insult to injury. "A few military officers, please give us a few more days, old man will definitely make up for it."

  "This isn't nonsense?" Zhang San pushed Xia Lao down to the ground with one stroke.

  "Then, then it is. We, we'll all give, give you..." Wang Er stuttered.

  "It's already been delayed for half a month." Ma Zi added to Wang Er.

  "Right." Mazi nodded.

  Li Si didn't know when he took out a cloth bag from the house, "Old Man Xia, you said there was no food, what's this?" Li Si threw the cloth bag in front of Old Man Xia.

  At this time, Mao San also came back to his senses, squatting in front of Xia Lao Tou, patting Xia Lao Tou's face, "Old man, you're not being honest with us, we've given you many chances already, unfortunately, you don't cherish them. I'm considering whether to increase the amount you have to pay."

  Mao San stood up, clapped his hands and gave Zhang San four a look. The four of them tacitly surrounded Old Xia, and it was a flurry of punches and kicks.

  "You're not honest, you're not honest. You old thing that won't die." Several people were beating and scolding with their mouths at the same time.

  "Stop it, stop it. Please stop." Xia Jie rushed out of the house in tears, trying to push away several people, but how could one girl resist four men as fierce as wolves? She was thrown to the ground by Zhang San. "Get lost."

  "Please, I beg of you, don't let them beat me up, please, I beg of you..." Xia Jiangu's tears wetted Mao San's clothes as she hugged his legs.

  Mao San lowered his head, lifted Xia's chin and whispered in her ear, "Tell me your name and I'll make them stop."

  Xia was embarrassed by Mao San's straightforward gaze and frivolous movements, wanting to avoid him. However, her cheeks were tightly pinched by Mao San, so she could only avoid his eyes. "Xia, Xia Yuhe."

  "Rain Lotus, good name, good name." Ma San sat back down, feeling the smoothness in his hand.

  "Dad, Dad, how are you? Ah, Dad." Xia Yuhe hugged the old man with a bleeding head and wept bitterly.

  "Third Master..." Zhang San gave a wink to those two over there.

  "Take your things and go." Mao San took a sip of water, patted his hands, and prepared to leave.

  "General, general, this is our family heirloom! You can't take it!" Old Xia hugged Zhang San's leg.

  "Damn you!" Zhang San kicked him hard and sent Lao Xia rolling on the ground.

  "Master soldier, master soldier, these are seeds for next year's use, can't take them, can't take them."

  "Pull it open, pull it open. I'm so annoyed." Mao San pointed at Old Man Xia, "Pull it far, far away."

  Like wolves and tigers, Zhang San, Li Si and others rushed up and beat Lao Xia again with a flurry of punches and kicks.

  "Stop fighting, please stop fighting." Xia Yuhe came over and knelt down to Mao San, "Please, General. Spare our family."

  "I spared you, who will spare me? Take it away, take it away."

  "General, General..." Xia Yuhe wanted to say something else. Mao San pushed her away.

  "Go." Mao San waved his hand and the five of them swaggered away from the broken bamboo fence outside Xia's house.

  "What evil deeds! What evil deeds have been done!" Xia Yuhe helped Old Man Xia sit down properly, with a silver dollar in her own palm.
